New Delhi, April 25, 2024.
BMW India has launched the i5 electric sedan in India. The first ever electric 5 Series counterpart – the i5 is making its debut in India as the i5 M60 xDrive, which is a BMW M Performance model. Available as a single trim, the BMW i5 M60 xDrive is priced at Rs 1.20 crore (ex-showroom) and is being brought to India as a full-import CBU.
The BMW i5 shares its exterior body very closely with the regular 5 Series. However being an EV and that too the M Performance variant, the i5 M60 has a sportier look compared to the regular i5/5 Series. The kidney grille element is still present, but it has a glossy-black blanked off panel, which is surrounded by LED illumination. The headlamps have a sweeping design with crescent shaped LED signature lamps. The M60 gets large air intakes which channel air. The i5 M60 rides on 20-inch alloy wheels. The rear gets thin LED taillamps, with a wraparound design. Unlike the upcoming 5 Series, which will be brought to India in its LWB guise, the i5 has been brought here in its standard wheelbase version.
